Daniel Ricciardo "Hungary" For More Formula 1 Wins

#3 Previews The Hungarian GP

It's a place Daniel Ricciardo fondly remembers - he won here in 2014.

"I love that track and it's always been a good one for me. I've had some great weekends there even before Formula One and 2014 was a cool victory." he said.

"Of course I love winning but that was just an awesome race. In order to win I had to pass Hamilton and Alonso, who are pretty much the best two so that was cool."

Ricciardo's confident the Bulls will be able to give the Mercs and Ferraris a run for their money on a twisty track better suited to his RB13.

"We've got lots more grip this year so it'll be a bit more fun. The second sector is going to be amazing. That's one of my favourite sectors in F1."

"If Sunday is hot it'll definitely be a physically demanding race, so I can't make the mistake again of eating too much meat on Saturday night!"

Regarded my many as Formula 1's best wheel-to-wheel racer right now, the Aussie's looking forward to more 'one on one' dog fights with rivals.

"This track means elbows out for sure as there are three key places where you can overtake."

"I've made some good moves in Turn 1 in the past. Turn 2 you can go inside or outside, as both lanes work and the hairpin is fun as well."

Practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix begins on Friday night.
